This couldn’t be right. As I looked at the theatre chart only eleven seats were sold. Perhaps I misread the color coding. Nope. A 560 seat capacity and only eleven tickets. I had never seen Logan Brill nor heard of her before spotting her show on the events calendar, so I checked it out. Hmmm… three appearances at the Grand Ole Opry, accolades from Billboard and CMT, and the iTunes previews sounded really good. Jeanne was away and my other three friends turned me down, so I pressed purchase for a solo ticket.
Ten minutes before show time I appeared at Will Call and gave them my name. I spelled it out, “M-A-Y-O.” The attendant laughed. Sitting on the counter I saw the one and only ticket envelope, and she passed it through.
“Am I the only one here tonight?” I asked.
“Nope. The others already arrived,” she replied. And by “others” she meant the other eleven people. This would be interesting.
Right on time Logan and her band walked on stage. With a laugh and a smile she said, “I see everyone gets a front row seat tonight!”
And then they played as if the theatre were full. A beautiful collection of original songs mixed with a few fun and melodic covers.
At the start of the second set, she set a more personal tone, “Since we have a ‘listening room’ audience, Brian and I are going to do a collection of acoustic duets. We don’t get to do this much, so we’ll just play what we feel.” It was brilliant. Later the band returned and resumed their electric energy. They closed with a rocking cover of Folsom Prison Blues. Enough said. Add me to her fan list.
Keep her on your radar. You won’t be disappointed. http://loganbrill.com
